I'm about three missions into the SP campaign, and it's a lot cooler than I was expecting, honestly. It doesn't feel tacked on. Sure, each new mission is easing you into a new facet of gameplay, so it's like an extended tutorial, but they seemed to have put a lot of effort into it. There's a decent story that's been animated in a stylized way. And I'm finding the AI to be entertaining.

I always liked the IDEA of FZ's music, but never got into him. Where's a good place to start?

BTW, weirdly enough I had "I Am The Slime" in my head this morning before even opening up this thread.

It's happening!!!! As mentioned above, overnite sensation is a short, but awesome point of entry. Hot rats is easily one of my favs. Almost all instrumental. And totally phenomenal musically. I could go on and on... Off to the show!!!!

Are the bots? I never cared for SP anyway, but like the way games like Unreal Tournament and Brink take games - awesome online multiplayer with an offline practice where you can play any of the multiplayer maps/modes offline with AI bots.

Even if it doesn't have bots I'll still probably buy it anyway.. as soon as someone runs a $39.99 special for it.

Anyone else here have a love for (almost) anything frank Zappa? it's a shame I never got to see him, and that he passed so relatively young. During his career that lasted a few decades he released over 80 albums! Holy-shit-fuck! Anywho, I've seen Zappa play Zappa numerous times before with his son dweezel and others that played with Zappa and its always been awesome. Then I saw "project object" which also has ray white and a few others of Zappa's players. So tomorrow I'm seeing a third celebration of his music in the form of "the grandmothers of invention" featuring nepolion Murphy Brock, Tim fowler and others, who also played with Zappa for many years. So any love for fz found around here?

I'm in the camp for a great single player experience, which I have no reason to believe it won't happen.. But to say " I'll buy this, but not even try the mp" seems silly.. What if is the "best" mp EVER?!? I doubt it, but new takes mp gaming are always welcome as far as I'm concerned.

The beta ran just fine for me with a 3 yr old iMac (27", if that matters). 3.06ghz, 4GB. I ran it at a lower res but full screen, not for performance, but so I could see everything a bit better (larger). In multiplayer, I only played with 1 other, so not sure what a full team would be like.

I really only have one quick question on this subject matter. Is it possible to use my iMac's gorgeous monitor as a monitor for a windows machine? I absolutely love my Mac, and it's plan was to be utilized as a "family pc". Movies, music, and actually alot of gaming has been done on it! I would just love to be able to plop a gaming windows machine down below the desk and use the iMac's monitor with it. That beautiful screen would make me happy! It has a thunderbolt connection. Is that already an option? Maybe down the road?

About to sit done with he wife, have a few drinks and play some walking dead ESP 1 on ps3. I started it, played through about half of it and decided I wanted to see what other directions I could take the story. Ding! Wife will enjoy this! Start over! Other than that, as usual hotshots was played a fair amount.. Maybe some torchlight or crysis 1 on ps3? Time will tell.

I'm glad Nintendo is finally waking up and modernizing their platforms' infrastructure. Patching games, digital downloads, and so on.

It is nice to see. That being said, will I get a wii u? Probably not. I have a track record of buying N consoles and not using them much... Their handhelds I use alot for some reason though.. I play the shit out of the vita and the 3ds..

The folder thing is hobbled by the fact that you only get to label it with one letter or number. There's no iconography to show what may be inside until you actually select it. I'm not sure what the thinking was here.

I think MP where you don't expect it can be fun, especially when they tie it into the storyline like Bioshock 2 and ME3. Uncharted MP is kind of nonsensical from a story perspective but it is also very good.
